I could not have said it better than Andy and Rich. After only a few of the
Friday ???, my "delete" button gets well exercised.

Andy, you are one of the reasons I stay with this list, namely to share, learn,
and help inform where possible all the things we run into in
restoring our Healeys. If you leave, this list will be one step closer to me
leaving too.Come on guys, let's get back to Healey matters......period!

Subject: [Healeys] what is happening to the HEALEY list?????
Sorry Guys (hate to get drawn into this, but there are people outside the
USA!!!) As a UK lister, I joined this list for the amazing informative
information it has provided in the restoration of my Bj8, and for that I thank
everyone one who has provided help over the years.
But since I live in the UK I couldn't give a toss who is running in the US
elections (and if I did I wouldnt be posting about it on a British car forum!),
and whilst I dont mind the odd friday funny even these are clogging up the
list. It seems to me that over 70% of the emails I know get from the list are
from funnies/political/or promoting goods or business. It has started to get a
pain in tagging all the rubbish and deleting it (and some may say just delete
them, but again its not the odd one a day, its the majority) and whilst I admit
I do need, and like any help the list provides, I for one are seriously
thinking of leaving.
If you start a monday political note, someone will always have to have the
last word, and it will go on for ever!!!
After several years as a UK member of the Uk Austin Healey club (sorry but its
proberly another debate) I cancelled my membership after seeing the magazine
full of pictures of guys in there 50's having a club lunch, and the same advert
from every supplier every month. A few of us members started a letter trying to
promote the technical / restoration / and running of a Healey instead of the
follow up on the lunches, treasure hunts etc but it fell on deaf 50 year old
ears of guys just going on Sunday jaunts.
PLEASE DONT GO THE SAME WAY! sorry for the soap box, but my view, just this
once lets get back to the healeys
